Uncharted 2 takes over largest game store in UK

The GameStation store in the Bullring Centre is the largest games store in the UK (in terms of floor space), and Sony clearly hasn't wasted any time in getting Nathan Drake's face out there where people will see it.

Thats about 1/3 of the size of the Modern Warfare 2 poster I saw on a local best buy window last week.

Of course, everything in America is bigger. Including the people ;)

AP5279d ago

Well, this is the largest GAME store. It was 2 floors. Best Buy etc are basically what we call Supermarkets here, which are an entirely different kettle of fish.

You ever notice how here in the states. Look in the front window at Video game stores. Notice how it's most always loaded with MS Xbox stuff? Be it games systems, etc. You'll see a little stack of PS3 slims, etc. But mostly all MS stuff. I've started paying attention to this 6 months ago here at 3 of our local Malls. They seem to push the cheaper system out the door more than the higher end PS3 system. I guess they are pushing America's product first here too. Even though it's a total lemon. But see if you see the same thing near you.

I can't believe that store is actually called Gamestation. Isn't that the name for fake consoles on TV shows.

uncharted 2 has 36 perfect scores (1 less than gta4) but has much more above 95 scores, uncharted 2 has ZERO below 90 scores whilst gta has TWO below 90 at 88 and 87 yet gta 4 has a metacritic of 98 whilst uncharted is on 96?

Get a life and learn some math.

ZBlacktt5279d ago

The scores are a joke. Play little attention to them. I mean GTA became the fastest/most traded in game ever. From both consoles and GameCrazy and EB Games, etc. Stopped taking them in on trades at one point. Then look at StreetFighter IV. It has a score the same as MGS4. Like who the hell was on crack to give it that? It's the same damn game from 20 years ago. I own it and have many of the trophies. But it's nothing new at all. So simple, one screen two players fighting, oh yeah really in depth. In GTA, it was pure hype off the last game, which is still 100 times better.

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1443d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1443d ago (Edited 1443d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1444d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1444d ago (Edited 1444d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1444d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931443d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
